South Africans exasperated by Trump's false claims of 'white genocide'

President Ramaphosa met President Trump this week in Washington amid ongoing political and economic challenges in South Africa.
The meeting followed months of acrimony and occurred as Ramaphosa's ANC faced dismal election results and an uneasy coalition government.
Ramaphosa sought US investment to address joblessness and high crime while Trump repeated discredited claims of white genocide against Afrikaners.
A recent survey showed the ANC in its weakest position since coming to power 30 years ago, yet Ramaphosa remains a stabilizing figure amid criticism for slow reforms.
The meeting underscored South Africa's united front but may deepen divisions domestically as some see Trump’s claims as an insult and rally behind opposition voices.
